About Us

PNYX Games creates hands-on educational games that teach economics, math, and systems thinking through play—not lectures or worksheets.

Our games focus on real economic behavior: scarcity, inflation, bidding, tradeoffs, incentives, and unintended consequences. Players don’t memorize definitions; they experience how money, markets, and resources interact, then naturally ask why outcomes occurred.

We design primarily for homeschool families and small learning groups, where discussion and observation matter more than rote answers. Math is embedded as a tool, not the goal—used to solve problems, make decisions, and adapt to changing conditions.

Rather than abstract or simplified “fair” economies, PNYX games model imperfect systems: unequal starting positions, information gaps, market pressure, and policy effects. These conditions mirror the real world and encourage critical thinking, debate, and long-term reasoning.

Our catalog spans ages and complexity—from entry-level math games to deep economic simulations—allowing families and educators to scale learning as students grow.

PNYX Games exists to make economic literacy tangible, memorable, and honest.
